Part of the TASS Family

Maria has been selected to join the family of TASS (Talented Athlete Scholarship Scheme). TASS is a Government funded programme that represents a unique partnership between talented young athletes, National Governing Bodies of Sport (NGB’s) and the Higher (University) and Further (college/school) Education sector. TASS aims to help its athletes to balance academic life with training and competition as a performance athlete.

Maria would like to thank TASS for all the provided support which it will help her during her University days at Nottingham University starting this September.
